Picturing America’s Postwar America page is a collection of pictures dating from 1946-63 of post-WWII events and common life for Americans. These photos help clarify how people lived in America after the war. There are captions along with the photos that tell a little about what is going on, and they help create a connection between viewers and the things in the pictures.
The whole website still looks similarly to a textbook, but it brings a little excitement to viewers by introducing a human aspect instead of reading a history book. The connection gives a viewer a strong sense of patriotism that does not always accompany a person after reading a history textbook. Seeing peoples’ faces while they stand in fallout shelters helps to convey the fear caused by nuclear warfare. It’s an overall interesting page that would be eye-catching to Stumble Upon.
